Ever heard of coital cephalgia? Are there any cures?

Answer 1

Also known as "sexual headaches", coital cephalgia are a rare type of severe headache that occurs at the base of the skull before orgasm during sexual activity, including masturbation. The pain usually moves from the base of the skull through the head towards the frontal lobes. Extremely severe and sharp pain behind the eyes is also a symptom. The headaches usually have an immediate onset and typically last for a few minutes to a few hours, although it is possible for such headaches to last up to a few days.

More prevalent in men, by a factor of 3 or 4:1, these headaches appear in roughly 1% of the population, though it has been suggested that the prevalence may be higher, due to the embarrassment of presenting with the disorder, especially in cases where spontaneous remission occurs after a few days. It is important to see a doctor if you have such symptoms in order to rule out a potential brain aneurysm, or tumors. In most cases, these headaches are benign. More serious symptoms include a stiff neck, confusion, and dizziness. For example, a man could conceivably argue against sex on the basis of a this condition, riffing on the classic "Not tonight, I have a headache" routine.

Little is known about the cause or treatments for sex headaches. Some scientists suspect that a history of high blood pressure, or pre-existing migraine and psychological factors may contribute, especially episodes of increased stress and anxiety. A concern outside of physiological problems is that persons who are affected by sex headaches will develop a fear of engaging in sexual activities or masturbation.

As for treatment, a doctor may recommend abstaining from sexual activities and masturbation for a short period of time ranging from a few days to a few weeks. In addition, Propranolol may be prescribed. Reduction in weight to a more ideal level and increased exercise may also reduce the likelihood of recurrences.

Coital Cephalgia Cure

Answer 3

Once they occur, the treatments are much the same as any headaches. Again, migraine suffers will likely have a migraine and will want to use their fiorinal, or esgic. Any caffeine based medications or anti-inflammatories (naproxen, ibuprofen) can be tried. Cold compresses, and lying in a dark and quiet room can also help.

To prevent them, abstinence works, but will have few takers. Switching to a less active position or role also works. But many women are already on the bottom and those who aren't don't want to give it up. Common, non-narcotic pain relievers, such as naproxen (500mg) or anaprox (550mg) taken an hour or two before sex can prevent some sex headaches. Ibuprofen (at least 400mg or more) can also work. Propranolol, a blood pressure reducing drug has also been used. About 40mg can be given on a regular basis or a couple of hours before sex. Migraine suffers use their ergotamine. Some people try plain old aspirin. With sex headaches, the woman's anxiety level and feelings about the relationship may be an issue. If there are problems here, she and/or her partner should seek counseling. If all else fails, then just wait. Sex headaches often go away on their own in a matter of weeks or months.

USUALLY OCCURS IN MEN: MEN DO NOT REPORT THE "AILMENT"-due to the embarrassment of presenting with the disorder, especially in cases where spontaneous remission occurs after a few days.

Answer 6

I can vividly remember having that smoke blown into my ear and my Dad making fun of me cause he said it was coming right out of the other ear on the other side (meaning there was nothing in the middle). I don't recall which cause he smoked both ways. My Mom; however, was a firm believer in clove oil for everything. She would warm it up and pour it into our hurting ear. Did it help? Who knows..... lol
